Description

A RefEntryTitle is the title of a reference page.
It is frequently the same as the first
RefName or the RefDescriptor, although it
may also be a longer, more general title.

Processing expectations

Formatted as a displayed block.

Formatting reference pages may require a fairly sophisticated
processing system. Much of the meta-information about a
reference page (its name, type, purpose, title, and
classification) is stored in wrappers near the beginning of
the RefEntry.

Common presentational features, such as titles and running
heads, may require data from several of these wrappers plus
some generated text. Other formatting often requires that
these elements be reordered.

Future Changes

The InterfaceDefinition
element will be discarded in DocBook V4.0. It will no longer be available
in the content model of this element.
